    Does this look like a Tacoma to you? Witnesses say truck started to sway back and forth and headed to the side of highway where it flipped and rolled over. Life flight took 2 took area hospital.

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    You can see the "TRD" stickers and the rims are clearly 1st gen alloys. Pre 01 1st gen.

    I agree with koditten. The fender flares made me think s 10 at first, but the grill and rims are way off.
    2001 tacoma I'd say

    It's a first gen Tacoma.. as StAndrew said you can see TRD on the back and first gen alloys on it.

    This could be solved very easily - go to the 1st gen section and look for the post titled "Rolled My Truck Today":D

    1st gen problems. They're just too narrow! This happens all the time. No stability. :D

    Hopefully those involved are OK. They must be decent folks driving nice truck like that.

    Yep, coming in a little late but I agree with the others.

    1st GEN.....what a way to go after such a good life.

    Hope all the passengers are OK.
